<Something Wicked> - Whisperwind - is looking for a few skilled players. Successful applicants will be specced properly at the time of application and have their gear gemmed/enchanted as if they were raid ready.

We do consider how well you are geared, but that is a secondary issue to your ability to demonstrate you understand the mechanics of your class. Applicants should be prepared to justify their choices in gear, spec and play style. We don't just want you to be playing right, we want you to know why!

About Us: *We've raided for 4 1/2 years consecutively, transitioning through each expansion with increasing levels of success, including a Top 150 US rank in Wrath. *We have a history of stability, having the same raid and guild leader for the entirety of our existence.*We raid only 12 hours per week (4 hours/3 days), but we don't think our reduced raid time is an excuse for poor performance. *Because of our limited raid schedule, we take our raid time seriously.

About You: *You play the game for progression, but don't have either the time, or the desire to raid on a full time schedule. *You expect raids to start on time and you log on early to make sure that happens. *You have no complaints about using consumables, and you expect others to use as many as you do. *You understand if you don't log in, other people do, and they have an expectation that you will as well. *You are proficient with your computer; and are willing to fix problems as they arise.

* - We are always looking for exceptional players. If this applies to you, feel free to apply.

-=DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME APPLYING IF YOU ARE NOT CORRECTLY ENCHANTED AND GEMMED=- [In early Cata, this will be eased within reason. Your Heroic+ gear should be gemmed with high quality gems, you should be able to use the affordable (non-epic mat requiring) enchants.]

Loot Rules: We use a custom system based on your ratio of loot received to your hours raided with the guild. This has the advantage of quickly allowing newer members to become competitive while rewarding high attendance. 85%+ attendance is expected of members. Failure to maintain long term high attendance will see a reduction in loot privileges and potentially replacement.
